Re: [Pcmanfm-develop] PCManFM adds a "filter bar" letting you filter currently shown files by name.

[Stephan S. <gma...@sp...>]

In released versions, all Ctrl+F does is show the built-in GTK+ prefix 
search box, so I assume you're talking about the upcoming filesystem 
search UI.

As far as that goes, I'd strongly suggest switching that to something 
like Ctrl+Shift+F to keep things intuitive and consistent with other apps.

When you use Ctrl+F in an office suite, or a web browser, or any other 
app, it invariably means "find in current document" and the closest 
thing a file manager has to a current document is the folder currently 
being shown so it follows that the most intuitive use for the Ctrl+F 
binding is as an enhanced alternative to the "show GTK+ prefix search 
box" already bound in released versions of PCManFM.

Imagine if Google Chrome had decided to make Ctrl+F "search on Google" 
or if OpenOffice and LibreOffice used something like Beagle or Google 
Desktop Search or whatever OSX offers to implement Ctrl+F as "search all 
documents".
